Waterloo Records

Waterloo moved, and the new address should be the first thing on the list. The Austin business that opened in 1982 now operates at 1105 North Lamar, after a 2025 relocation and ownership change. Its commitment to physical releases and local music remains the reason to go: records and CDs, staff recommendations and an event programme built around artists and albums. It works as a broad first browse when the list crosses genres or formats. Check the current store calendar if you want to catch an appearance, then leave enough time to shop without the event doing all the choosing.

Vinyl, CDs and cassettes, new releases, catalogue titles, Texas music and store merchandise. The website distinguishes preorders from available releases; confirm local stock for a time-sensitive purchase.

Waterloo buys vinyl, CDs, cassettes, DVDs and Blu-rays for cash or store credit. Bring photo ID and collect any declined items the same day. Call about an on-site appraisal for a very large collection.

1105 North Lamar Boulevard, Suite 110. The old 600 North Lamar address and its storefront photographs no longer describe this visit. Keep a downtown extension separate from the Guadalupe shops farther north.

Check the address on any saved map pin before leaving. A familiar photograph of the old corner can be correct about Waterloo’s history and still send you to the wrong building.
